06. the end

Ethan and Alana meet up with Quinn in their waiting spot in the theater. "You two remember the plan right?"

Alana and Ethan nod and Ethan goes over part of the plan out loud. "I go after Chad and Tara and after the five of them when they're back in the main area."

Alana finishes the rest. "You and Ethan get Chad and we all corner them."

Quinn nods. "And Wayne comes him pretending to help the girls and Liam."

"Wait, what about Kirby?"

"Shit. I didn't think of that. Umm, Alana, you go after Kirby and knock her out or something but just make sure she's out of the way."

Alana hesitantly nods. "Got it." She salutes Quinn, making Ethan and Quinn laugh.

The three Ghostfaces in costume hear Sam, Tara, Arianna, Liam, Chad, and Kirby enter the theater and go to get into position. Alana stops Ethan but before he can ask her about it she pulls him into a passionate kiss. The kiss wasn't like their usual kisses. It was full of passion, love, and fear. After a moment, she pulls away and rests her forehead against his. "I love you. So much." She kisses him again.

Ethan wraps his arms around her waist before pulling away. "I love you too. I'll be by you as much as I can, okay?"

Alana nods and kisses him once more before running to look for Kirby, finding her walking around on the stage behind the curtain. I am so, so sorry for this Kirby. She hits Kirby in the head with the blunt end of her knife harshly knocking her out or so she thought. Kirby fell to the ground and Alana runs off to Quinn.

Quinn takes off her mask and looks at the Gray girl. "Alana I know you don't want to do this and you can back out. Even know. You haven't attacked or killed anyone so you'll be fine."

Alana takes her mask off and looks at Quinn. "I'm too far into this. And your dad will kill me if I back out. He's already tried and I won't put it past him to try it again, even with you and Ethan around."

"You care too much to Ethan and you make him happy. I love seeing him happy and if you're not around he'll be heartbroken so I'm telling you now is your chance to leave so my dad can't do anything to you."

"I'm not going anywhere. I made promises to you and to Ethan and I fully intend to keep those promises no matter what happens to me."

Quinn nods and hugs her. "Just please be careful."

Alana hugs her back and buries her head in Quinn's neck. "You too."

Alana sees Sam, Tara, Arianna, and Liam run back into the main area. No Chad. Ethan and Quinn got him. Alana feels her heart sink but ignores it so she can go on with the plan.

Ethan walks through the door on the stage and quietly makes his way over to Alana. "You ready for this?"

Alana shakes her head not looking away from the group of her friends and her brother. "No, but there's no turning back now." She sees the four go toward the stage and comes out from behind the curtain with Ethan behind her smiling proudly underneath his mask at this girlfriend. The four turn to go the other way but Quinn steps out in front of them waving her knife around and shaking her head smiling also.

Sam grabs four bricks and give one to the other three. "Ready?" She only gets a sob from Tara in response. "I need you to be ready. Ready?" Tara continues sobbing. "Look at me."

Tara, Liam, and Arianna all look at Sam. "I'm ready." Arianna and Liam agree with Tara and turn back around to the two Ghostfaces in front of them. "Come on motherfucker!"
